Games 2 and 3 go in the books

Last you heard we were undefeated at 1-0. That didn't last. We lost game 2 6-1 and as you can tell I dont want to talk about it. We had absolutely no offense whatsoever. We played the same team again for game 3 last night and being 1-1 we needed to make some serious changes. So to start the game off one of the new guys we were given this season scored his first goal of the year. Horay. Anyways, that lead didn't last and we were quickly down 2-1. With a late 1st period goal the game was tied up at 2-2. This was probably the hardest I've tried\skated in a game in the longest time, maybe even ever. So I was sitting there with nothing to show for it. They scored right away to take the lead back 3-2. Then we scored and the game was all tied up again at 3-3. I won the faceoff, but accidentaly gave it away. Following the new thing Im trying called "Skating" I forechecked and stole the puck. Around the net I came skating backwards and wrist shotted it for my 2nd goal of the year. It was probably my nicest one of the year. That gave us our 2nd lead of the game at 4-3. Shortly after this goal I tried the same thing again. I forechecked and stole the puck. The guy I stole it from was trying to block my path to the goal. I put the puck between my legs and passed it back. That was probably the best pass I made all season. It went right on the kids tape and he wrapped it around to give us the 5-3 lead. As usual that didn't last and we were down 6-5 at the end of the 2nd. They took the lead 8-5 and we needed a goal and fast. With 3 minutes remaining one of the kids on my team pulled the Michigan put us within 2. The score was 8-6 and we pulled the goalie. After multiple chances from me we were still down 2. I passed it to the point and the puck went back to our zone right on the tape of one of their guys. That was it, we lost 9-6. Here is the stats for this season for our team and myself.

Game 1 goes to......

The 1st game of our season was last night. As usual I was off on my 1st game. Bounces were not going right, I was not skating as well as I could've, and I had become cocky....yet again. So anyways at the end of the 1st period we were up 1-0 after a somewhat early goal. Our goalie kept us in it the entire game. With about 2 minutes to go down 3-2 after a pep talk from my dad I decided we should try to get a scoring run going. So right off of the face of I tipped it ahead to another player on our team and from there he did the rest getting me my 1st point of the season tying it 3-3 at the end of the 2nd. Right off the bat in the 3rd period they scored to give themselves the 4-3 lead. Less then a minute later we tied it back up 4-4 then got the lead on the next shift 5-4. So I was sitting there with 5 minutes to go in the game thinking, "What am I doing, I don't have a goal yet." In my opinon not getting a goal in a high scoring game is one of the most frusturating feelings in the world. So I skated around 4 of their players and popped it over the goalies shoulder to give us the 6-4 lead. So with 15 seconds left one of our players who only had one goal in his career before that put in his second one to give us the 7-4 win. So after one game we are
w-l
1-0
The first time we have ever been undefeated.

And after one game my point totals are

1 goal and 1 assist

Im on route for another 16 point season, which is not what I want, so hopefully I can do a little better next game. Thats about it. Our next game is on Tuesday the 20th.

Thankfully I'm not always right

Well my grades came in and they are as follow:

Algebra 2: A
Spanish 2: A
Torrey: B

Better then I thought it would be so that's always nice. After a long time of practicing hockey season is finally starting! Game 1 for our team will be at 8:15 tommorow (11\15 Thursday). Our team looks great this year and hopefully we will blow the league away, but no gurantees. So that is pretty much it, as you can see I haven't had too much going on to write about. But I promise that you will start seeing a whole lot more posts from me as hockey season is starting. Thanks for the read.

Update

School has been going fine. I need to be hustling on my term paper. I look a whole lot better this season, and I hope I would being 20 pounds lighter then last season. Now taking one more guy that left the league out that puts me at 1st in scoring :D. Not bad in my opinion. My grades for school for this quarter will probably be A in Algerbra, A in SPanish, and C in Torrey. The Torrey grade will be my worst ever, but the good news is that I can try to work it up to a B by the end of the 2nd quarter. I just signed up for facebook, so if you are on there then try to add me. Thats pretty much all I can think of. If you have any questions then please comment, thanks.
